Mount script error

Mount script cannot be created

Mount: Invalid argument

[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
did u partitioned ur sd into 2 ?
[Sony Xperia M] squallyxkidz:
yes, both are fat32...

should I reformat and repartition my sdcard??
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
no no...its k then..

please reflash ur stock rom of dual

then follow #1 post procedure ...

root,fix,install link2sd
[Sony Xperia M] squallyxkidz:
well, I already reflash my c2005 and repeat all procedure. . .no reboot while editing system, fix mount suceed, but still got the same eror message.

what that message mean actually?? I can't figure out what's wrong. . .
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
r u using gl2sd or foldermount?

if yes...dont open them before link2sd...

if not...format ur 2nd partition ...using mini partition too

i seen this error only when i mounted gl2sd and tried to link2sd mount script...
[Sony Xperia M] squallyxkidz:
i already reformat my whole sdcard and recreate partition but still no progress, that error message still appear.

it seem link2sd detect internal memory as sdcard, maybe that's why the error message always showing while try to create mount script.

anyway, how u manage to make link2sd detect extcard as sdcard?
[Sony Xperia M] efekkurangtidur:
hey bro, any idea for swapping memory for xperia m dual? well, i'm still using gl2sd for playing games... but there are some games I can't play like the amazing spiderman, because the name folder isn't obb or data folder... do you have any clue bro?
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
can u open that folder and see whether it has .obb format file or many files and folders in it...

if .obb file is exist then copy that folder to obb folder of sd

if more files exist then copy that folder to data folder of sd
[Sony Xperia M] efekkurangtidur:
yes it can, I use the amazing spiderman game for example... the folder name cache data from extract usually started using com. (example : com.gameloft.blablabla) but when I extract from that game it has different name, it just gameloft and then so many folder through in and I find so many files...

so what should I do with that so many folder? can you help me to solve this?
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
can u take a screenshot the content inside the gameloft folder...and pm me...i will help in pm..

[Sony Xperia M] ulumm:
Whether use gl2sd should be in partition ?
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
r u asking whether gl2sd can be moved to 2nd partition of sd by using link2sd?

if yes ...then ya u can move
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
Link2SD may not support ext4 on the XM, but many of the file system partitions are mounted as such.

It's been a bit of a problem child in the past on many other Android devices when attempting to mount a second partition as ext4, so I never really try.

One may need to format the 2nd partition as ext4 to get it to mount as ext4, but either way, the fall back message on the XM is a true cop out.

The message says, "Ext4 not supported, use fat32" or something like that.

I mount all my 2nd partitions as ext3 as this is supported on the XPERIA M and by my 'old' GB 2.3 devices too.

This means I can mix and match cards without having to format then...again.

I currently have my Link2SD 2nd partition on my SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSD card formatted and mounted as ext3.

So, I know ext3 is supported, thus it's an option if people want to try ext3 as it's way better than FAT32.
[Sony Xperia M] ulumm:
can i just use root and gl2sd to play hd games? thanks
[Sony Xperia M] haresh311999:
Yes you can

[Sony Xperia M] gengakukurasaki:
I got two issues one with LINK2SD & second GL2SD

i still keep getting this message when im trying to move apps using LINK2SD after trying to move files.

"App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card"

what i have done so far.

-got phone rooted then busy box installed then applied [NUT] root fix

-format sd card into two partitions both fat32 and type is primary partition

-link apps(games) using app(LINK2SD)

Getting a automatic close/force close when running GL2SD when entering setup option

it will close ina 2-3 seconds. reinstall then try to mount unmount but cant proceed.

Did i miss anything on the steps?

Is LINK2SD for linking only we cant move apps to sd card this way?

How about GL2SD? does it work like folder mount? which one would u recommend using folder mount or GL2SD?

btw im using latest firmware update for xperia m dual - only had phone rooted thats about it
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
did u create partition using msc mode?

if yes..

did u use mini partition tool?
[Sony Xperia M] giridhargp:
Apps2sd wint work on android 4.0 to 4.2 I think.
[Sony Xperia M] gengakukurasaki:
I didnt partition using msc mode and yes i used mini partition tool.

I partitioned the sd card with a card reader as i accidentally set the partition type as NTFS but got that issue resolved. Reformat it and had it working. I used "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" to partition it though.

You think i should try formatting using phone with msc mode?
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
yes just use MSC mode and use data cable to connect pc to phone...dont use card reader...use fat32 for 1st partition and [ext3 or fat32 for 2nd partition] and both as primary....
[Sony Xperia M] gengakukurasaki:
Will try your suggestion & work on it once i get home. Thanks!

Just wondering if using LINK2SD will enable us to transfer apps to sd or just simply link it?

And for the GL2SD fault where it closes without any warning any other suggestions? (already tried reinstalling the app - no good results)
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
link2sd is to move app data to 2nd partition and link app 2 run from 2nd partition.........gl2sd for me working perfectly
[Sony Xperia M] gengakukurasaki:
tried to u use gl2sd instead works great thanks for the help again! got a quick question though not related to same concern.

is there any other ways to get a copy of the stock camera app for xperia m dual? Besides reflashing through SUS?
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
u can copy semccamera.apk

but if alter the libs...it will affect the camera.apk
[Sony Xperia M] horamankurdish:
sorry dude internal partition must be fat 32 or ext3 or?????????????

[Sony Xperia M] andyxoxo:
Ok, the method in this thread didn't work for me with the single sim C1905. The half root does fine but after using the NUT tool in this thread, when I click RW using Root Explorer or ES File Manager where the keyboard layouts are, the phone reboots. WTF. I did all the steps slowly and perfectly. Going to uninstall this half root and then use the steps over here in this thread instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2457174. Wish me luck

COUPLE OF HOURS LATER EDIT: Okay, that didn't work either. I can get the half root no problem but using either the NUT tool in this thread or the ANTO KUS tool in that other thread does not give me the full root (phone reboot when clicking RW). I am bummed out, this sucks. Perhaps it's because of I have firmware 15.1.C.2.8 installed? I don't know. Hopefully in the future someone comes up with a better way to FULL root the Xperia M. I know I did everything right, over and over and over again.

HI. can you tell me process for taking backup of my current ROM. my Xperia m c2004 is rooted. bootloader is locked. and how to unlock bootloader if its required. I'm doing so much things with phone and i haven't backed up its systems rom because maybe something wrong if happens
[Sony Xperia M] Shazam_strikes:
IT WORKS 100 % but

I have rooted almost 4 times my SONY xperia M DUAL by this method and it gets the job done beautifully . I use Folder mount for games and link2sd for linking apps to sd ( cannot move them to sd becoz XMD has emulated storage which won't let you move apps and also won't let you do the mempry swap) , and es explorer for flie browsing and titanium bkup for backng up data but the only thing that doesn't works for me is "GL2SD" and because of it i had rooted my phone 4 times because the first time i rooted my phone i used it too mount dead trigger but instead it ****ed up my phone and made it slow like a turtle , then i unrooted and reseted my phone again 2 times but both times it won't mount and damaged the ext_sd card, so couple weeks ago i rooted it again but didn't install GL2SD this time , Just FOLDER MOUNT for games and it's working absolutely fine.

SO THANKS A LOT OP :good: and can you tell me what may be causing trouble with my GL2SD....???
